Weston Park

published 25 April 2017

In February 2017 a group of experts came together at Weston Park to offer an insight into the challenges of putting modern lighting into a stately home.

Hosted by John Goodall, Architecture Editor of Country Life, the day included expert speakers Harry Triggs and Andrew Molyneux Co-Founders and Directors of TM Lighting, and Janie Money, Associate Director of Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler who discussed modern curating techniques used to enhance the visitor experience in historic homes, including conservation, lighting, and interior design.

The day was attended by stately home owners, interior designers and architects, and guests of Country Life magazine. The day finished with a curator-led tour of the stunning collection, by Gareth Williams, of the Weston Park Foundation.

TM Lighting have now produced this video of highlights from the day – including some fascinating nuggets of wisdom.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
